This new edition of Occupational and Environmental Medicine
concentrates more on the newer kinds of occupational disease
including those (like "RSI" and pesticide poisoning)
where exposure and effects are difficult to understand. There is
specific emphasis on work, health and wellbeing, with links to
public health, health promotion, the value of work, disabled people
at work, the aging workforce, vocational rehabilitation, evidence
based practice, and further chapters on the health effects of
climate change and of occupational health and safety in relation to
migration and terrorism.
